HIT AND RUN HOAX: Milton police responded Aug. 25 to a report of an alleged hit and run accident. The complainant said he believed his truck had been hit in the parking lot of Walmart, but he did not notice the damage until the next morning. Officers observed damage to the right front headlight, bumper and quarter panel along with other scratches, but the damage did not appear to have been made by another vehicle. After police asked the owner of the truck several times if he was telling the truth, he then said he had hit some shrubs and/or a small tree but did not think that caused the damage. The man later allegedly admitted to reporting a hit and run so his insurance company would pay for the damage and was arrested for making a false police report.

PAN-DEMONIUM: A Johns Creek woman called 911 after getting into a dispute with her 24-year-old son and subsequently getting injured. Both mother and son told police they began arguing when the son came into the kitchen to wash his hands. Allegedly, the son threw a frying pan on the ground and his mother picked it up and struck his arm with it about three or four times. The mother reportedly then took the pan to the living room and started hitting things. When her son tried to take the pan away, it struck her in the mouth causing injury that required stitches. The woman told police her son had physically assaulted her in the past, but he refused to discuss any prior incidents with police. Based on the statements from both parties, police determined the mother to be the primary aggressor and arrested her for simple battery – family violence.

WRITING’S ON THE WALL: A Johns Creek parks department employee called police the morning of Aug. 13 when he discovered that sometime overnight an unknown suspect had used white paint to write a phrase with an expletive on the back of the restroom brick wall at Ocee Park, near the softball field. The employee estimated it would cost $500 to repair the damage.
